THE Leongatha tennis courts were awash
with the colour pink on Thursday as the
Leongatha Ladies Tennis Group went all
out in support of raising funds for cancer
research with its Pink Ribbon Day.
The group has held a cancer research fund
raiser every October/November for 12 years now
and one of the key organisers, Bev Phillips who is
passionate about raising funds for cancer research,
said she expected close to $300 valuable dollars to
be raised.
As well as a raffle with each ticket winning a
prize, there were preserves, rhubarb stalks, lemons
and plants for sale.
Money raised over the decades has been con-
tributing to significant advances in the treatment of
cancer.
Thirty percent of women diagnosed with breast
cancer in 1994 died.
The figure has since fallen by half.
• Bass Coast Cycling Challenge
Race Challenges the best
PHIL Anderson rode in the
Bass Coast Cycle Challenge
and before the race said, “Gen-
erally, I ride a couple of times
a week. A longer one (maybe
100km) mid week followed by
a coffee-shop ride on the week-
end. Other days I run.
“Together with my partner Annie
we have a small travel business focus-
ing on cycle tourism which takes us
riding in Europe from time to time.
“Otherwise I ride the occasional
recreational event: Amy’s Gran Fon-
do, Chase the Dog, Otway Odyssey...
and now the Bass Coast Cycle Chal-
lenge!”
This is not his first visit to Inver-
loch where he recalls a school friend
had a holiday house back in the 1970s.
He said he enjoyed riding on the
beach at low tide and recalled, “Once
I began racing I did race a little in
Gippsland which touched on the
coast.”
First to cross the line was Jackie
Parsons. Her time was 3.41.16.
Parsons was followed in by David
Gafa who finished in 3.42 .59.
Phil Anderson was 38th in 4.08.28.
Para cyclist Alex Welsh from Ko-
rumburra finished 191 with a fantastic
pace of 21.3 km/h.
Mother and son: the first woman to cross the line in
the 10 kilometre run at the Bass Coast Cycle Chal-
lenge, Verity Nicholson with her son - first to cross the
line – James who participates in Cowes parkrun.
Legend: from left, race organiser Gavin Slavin with
Australian cycling legend, Phil Anderson the first rider
from outside Europe, ever, to wear the yellow jersey
signifying race leader of the Tour de France in 1981.
Ready: all set to start in the foot race at the Bass Coast Cycle Challenge in Inverloch on Saturday.
They’re off: the field set off at 10am on Saturday morning on the Bass Coast Cycle Challenge with Jackie
Parons bringing home the 121 kilometre section in 3.41.16. The first male to cross the line was David Gafa in
3.42.59.
Medallist: from left, race marshall James Bremner presented the winner
of the 10 kilometre run, 15 year old James Nicholson, with his medal.
James participates in the Cowes parkrun.
Hand cycle: well know para cyclist Alex Welsh at the finish of the race.
Welsh is a familiar sight on the hilly back roads around Korumburra
where he trains most days.
Pink ladies: from left, Willie Alger, Margaret Barnabus, Rhonda Trengrove, Sandra Moun-
sey, Lyn Tuckett, Joy Dyson and Lois Jackson showing the power of the colour of pink when
it comes to raising funds for cancer research. With several members having died of breast
and other forms of cancer over the years, it is an apt cause for the group to support.
Thank you: Bev Phillips has given up play-
ing due to an injury but is a passionate sup-
porter of fund raising and has remained in-
volved and thrown her efforts behind Pink
Ribbon Day. No one goes home empty hand-
ed with all participants in the day drawing
prizes in the raffle.
Advantage to the cause
